Galaxy Note-Can't see screen but touching works. Help

Hi guys, My galaxy note isn't working properly.
I can't see anything on the screen. (Black screen) but touch works.
I can still see the lights on menu and back button. Phone itself works fine. I called the phone and slide pick up even though I can't see the screen, I can talk.
So basically screen has stop show images.
Any idea what it is?

What did you do?

Honestly I didn't do anything. I left my phone in my bag then couple of hours later it stopped working. Works fine in the morning.

Can you elaborate your Note's configuration? Which ROM, kernel, etc?

Phone is rooted, Running rocket ROM. Been running rocket ROM for almost 1 month. I didn't do anything before this happen.
and fyi, when I boot up the phone, still can't see anything, even with recovery mode.

Probably an SOD. Have you tried rebooting? Which kernel do you use?

I've tried rebooting, taking out battery and restart, tried going to recovery mode, anything I could think of.
I'm not sure about kernel. I can't check. But it's the kernel the comes with Rocket ROM.

And after anything you could think of the screen doesn't show anything?
Sorry mate, seems that your hardware is faulty and you need to send it back for repair.

When I rebooted my phone, I can still hear my unopened text messages notification sound. Buttons and touch are responsive.
and phone is rooted, doesn't that void the warranty?

this has happened to me a couple of times..
it happens randomly after trying to come out of sleep...the phone works fine after a reboot..
i wonder what this problem is??
thankfully it only happens once in a blue moon...
I'm on stock rom unrooted...

Do you have custom binary counter increment and/or yellow triangle?
Well if you can't see anything on the screen, they won't either, provided it is a hardware malfunction.

I bought this phone on eBay, and it's overseas seller. Do I contact Samsung or the seller?

You should contact the party responsible for the warranty of your product.

Well, if they find out that you are on custom ROM they could deny warranty.
Since it looks like your screen went off, PC odin should still work, unconditionally.
So just boot up the phone in download mode (vol down+ menu+ power), connect to PC odin and flash stock firmware relevant to your country and you are good to go.

Hey this does not mean that your screen works, sorry for my misleading reply.
That is just to be sure that you get the warranty.

still doesn't work. Gonna have to send it for warranty i guess...
and could this be like a loose plug/connector inside a phone?

[SOLVED] My Xperia t touchscreen suddenly doesn't work anymore

Yesterday I went to a party, nothing wrong with the xperia t. When I got home I let it recharge. I think it still worked at that moment. Pretty sure it did. Went to sleep. Woke up. My phone battery was empty lol. Still in the recharger. Did some stuff, let it recharge some more. Got it to boot up again. Now touch screen doesn't work anymore . Tried wiping cache, factory reset. Still not working.
I have cm-10.1.3-RC2-mint installed. I think I might have to update it. This could be the problem.
Any more tips for if it doesn't work? never had this problem before. I hope it is a software thingy.

I updated the firmware but still doesn't work. I think im gonna re-install the stock firmware, and flash a stock kernel which will unroot my mobile. Any tips? please? I can't use my phone at all atm. It just stays at the cyanogenmod install screen..

I would like to try that thing with adb, but as I have already reinstalled cyanogenmod, developer options/debugging is turned off. I can't use ADB. Unless you know another way.

So this is totally getting out of hand.. (and I don't know if that is also a english expression lol).
I tried reflashing a stock firmware. Worked, but touchscreen still doesn't work. Then I noticed, that I now don't have cwm anymore... how the f?
SO I probably forgot to exclude the kernel. So now I tried reflashing a kernel with cwm, but flashtool doesn't recognize the kernel files... I don't know what is going on..
Ah already found the problem. Got cwm back phewww..
So here is what needs to be done. I want to try gregbradleys adb shell fix but my usb debugging is off and this means that I can't use adb, as I don't have touchscreen.
So, is there any way, any way at all, to enable usb debugging without touching the screen? Maybe a kernel with that settings automaticly set?
Im getting a bit angry at my phone now.. I didn't even do anything to break it in the first place. Just tried recharging it, and that killed the touchscreen? lol. Help will be appreciated. Im out of ideas.

Get a usbotg cable and attach a usb mouse
Then use that to turn debugging on
When you flash a stock firmware you lose recovery.

thanks, I'll get one tomorrow. I hope it will help. You've helped me before so im pretty confident that you fix my problem again haha. You are a boss.

A non responsive touch screen happened to me too after I flashed a wrong firmware. I flashed back the version that was on before, but it didn't help. Only after I flashed this (pretty old) version Xperia T - 7.0.A.1.303 Generic DE with Flashtool, the touch screen started to working again. I am not sure, maybe any ftf would work. But I know that I had success with this one.
You should try gregbradleys method first though. Funny, that your touch screen stopped working, without you modifying anything. Hopefully it's not a hardware problem.

hmmm, I tried this and it worked. problem solved. I did however not have wrong firmware installed, but it was an rc2 version of cm. So it can be unstable and stuff, but this was kind of a big problem.

Hey, glad your phone is ok again. I remember when that happened to me. I just had the phone for a couple weeks. Shat my pants, thinking I wrecked it. It worked out at the end, though. Feels good to recover a bricked phone, doesn't it.

[Q] Xperia TL 4.3 touch problems

As we all know by now the official 4.3 came out for the xperia T which was de and rooted, i installed it on the my xperia tl following the step by step instructions on the thread, everything works smooth for a while until the screen standby. when it does and im trying to unlock the phone the touch doesnt respond, i press the power button and tired again still nothing, pressing the power button several times and then the screen start pressing random things on its on activating and deactivating settings task bar is being pulled down etc then the touch start working and im able to use the phone until the screen time out and it happen all over again. i switch back to the 4.1.2 and i have no problem at all with it but im jus curious has anyone of the tl users experience this problem and is there a bug for us on the 4.3 and or if there is a solution ? please help me cause i love the 4.3 but hate the problem i have with it

Umm I had the same problem using the leaked version.. Since I'm using the official one I haven't had the problem.
What helped for me was to power off the phone using power and volume up buttons

i tried everything i did it over from the begining with a stock 4.1 firmware from att and then root install cwm 8 wipe cache and factory reset and wipe the dalvik install rom and then update superuser right after . then reboot . when it loads it works perfect for the first few mins then something got activated and thats it the screen jus went crazy it start jumping and touching all over the place and then stop .

My Xperia T has same problem. Maybe because i took the screenprotector off and the touch screen is a bit damaged by it now?

i dont think the screen protector has anything to do with it because i would have had the same problem when im on 4.1.2 because i did remove my factory installed sony screen protector aswell. i really believe its the firmware or module or drivers .what ever it uses to control the touch

i think i might find the problem, well atlease for my device ... my usb port is acting up when ever i plug it in anything wall charger or pc is freezes and i also disable to slide to unlock and set time out to 10 mins .. idk if this works for anyone else but ive been on it for 30 mins now and nothing has gone wrong so far

I must confirm that removing the screen protector makes the screen touches working a little bit worse, because the glass gets easier oily. It's even more worse, when usb charging is connected. Cleaning the glass makes it better again.

[Q] Completely Dead

Hi
what i did.
I unlocked the Bootloader via Flashtool
Rooted the device
Installed TW Recovery.
Installed iHackers 4.
All was fine until i saw the i wasnt connected to my Network Provider .
AHH i forgot to flash "Xperia Z1 - C6903 - Kernel + Baseband [14.3.A.0.757].ftf"
So i went into flashtool and flashed it, excluding everything execpt Kernel and Baseband.
The flashtool finshed and the device shut down. And thats it. Since then nothing. Not even
the led or something is showing any lifesignal. I tryed every button combi. The red reset button.
Tryed to enter flashmode.. NOTHING!!! What the ?! ANy ideas what i can do?
Last time i checked the accu was @ 93 %. I have it now on the charger dock hoping it is just a battery issue. No combination (pwr+vol+ or pwr+vol- etc.) working so far.
thanx

I started the Flashtool .. clicked on BLU and followed the instructions.
ANd the flashtool successfully unlocked the booloader
But thats not my problem. The Phone is dead.. I does not give
any lifesignes .. also the backup is useless if i cant get flashboot
or any way to use adb .. to work.

Yes it is a problem.
Even in this Tutorial is all well explained that you have to use the OFFICIAL Sony way to unlock Bootloader,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2440597
..you did not followed the instructions and you unlocked with Flashtool which probably did not do his job right.
Maybe I am wrong but this is how supposed to be to avoid issues.
Then you phone is bricked and you have to follow other instruction to check if still can be resurrected, there is many Threads on XDA about this.

Wow i haven't thought that I get some nagging here instead of constructive suggestions. In any case i will let the phone on the charger for 24 hours and see if it helps. Also I DON'T THINK THIS IS A BOOTLOADER ISSUE!!! All worked fine.. I booted into ihackers 4 multiple times without any problems.. Also the Phone would show ANY signes of life, eg. LED RED or blinking etc..But nothing
ALSO:
"..you did not followed the instructions and you unlocked with Flashtool which probably did not do his job right."
In the "getting started" thread of z1 it is suggested to use the flashtool! And like i said .. it finished successfully..
Thank you for your answer and the nagging...

Ok, If you are so sure then Ok, but still weird, as I follow different instruction and never had a problem then people do on they way and later have problems. It can be a coincidence and maybe is not your case, but sometime thinking easy can compromise the whole process.
I flashed different patches on mine Kernel I kill my phone few times and mine was completely dead, no led nothing, but it boot into Flashmode or Fastboot, you have somehow go in that mode and flash again, this is the only soft solution.
If you will not be able to do so then you have to go with the Test Pins, open your back cover and try to resurrect it, the hard way.

I don't understand what went wrong. After flashing the Kernel and Baseband the flashtool said everything went fine eand restarted the device. It turned off and nothing since then. I cant even get into flashboot or flashmode. It feels likt the accu is broken because there is nothing happening whatever i do. I think there is no power. I will not open the device because i still have 2 years of waranty (i hope they repair it as waranty case, if i am lucky) Else I will pay for the repair. We'll see. If this is an accu failure it should be a waranty case.
I had it for about 8 hours on the charger without any signs of "life" in the "machine". Sometimes i feel like trowing it against a wall to see if it reanimates it... But i can keep myself from doing it. =)
We'll see..

probably stupid guess: maybe ur phone just stucked on something and may not be completely switched off??
press vol+ and power button, see if ut vibrates 3 times
if it does, congrats an flash kernel again

Hello everyone!
I'm trying to fix my phone for 2 days still no success.
My problem is:
When i turn on the phone it does nothing,only the screen lights up for like 2-3 seconds after that it turns off.
It keeps doing it again and again until I take out the battery.
It cant even show the sony ericcson logo.
Battery works i tried it with another phone!
PHONE WASNT ROOTED OR FLASHED OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT
Solutions i tried :
Sony ericcson update service - no use
Flashing original firmware with flashtool - no use (btw flash mode works as long the flashing process works like charm)
Hope someone can help me out because there is no more warranty for the phone
Thanks in advance
